Voices told Lucas Darby to run. Voices no one else can hear. He’s warned his sister not to look for him, but Rayne refuses to let her troubled brother vanish on the streets of LA. In her desperate search, she meets Gabriel Stewart, a runaway with mysterious powers and far too many secrets. Rayne can’t explain her crazy need to trust the strange yet compelling boy—to touch him—to protect him even though he scares her.

A fanatical church secretly hunts psychic kids—gifted “Indigo” teens feared to be the next evolution of mankind—for reasons only “the Believers” know. Now Rayne’s only hope is Gabe, who is haunted by an awakening power—a force darker than either of them imagine—that could doom them all.

Thoughts:
I did not know what to expect from the book since I've requested it on Netgalley on a whim And have not heard any buzz for it. It took a while for me to get really into the book and honestly I was ready to give up reading it halfway until things get mighty interesting. The funny thing is, Rayne; the supposedly main character has all the qualities that I look for in a female character. She's tough, independent, street smart and rides a Harley. But why do I get the feeling that she's only pretending to be tough because the writer said so?

So I am indeed quite dissapointed when Rayne got into some trouble and needed some guy to save her. Cliche. And they both ended up having this instant connection since both of them are tortured souls with family problems. Very cliche. I was more interested with Kendra who discovered her gifts earlier on and dedicated her life in finding the other Indigo children and providing a safe shelter for them. A religious cult is hunting all the Indigo children so they must learn to use their powers to retaliate.

For me, the book became a lot more interesting when Rayne and Gabe left LA for the safety of Gabe's childhood home. We finally get an insight in Gabe's powers and his mysterious colourful family. And I'm saying colourful since he has a ghost as a butler and his mother used to be in a circus. Kind of reminds you of The Addams Family, right?

When they decided to return to LA to find Rayne's brother; Lucas, things get a lot more frenetic. The point of view keeps on shifting from one character to the next. So you not only get point of views from Kendra, Lucas, Rayne, Gabe, Raphael (an Indigo boy who has a big crush on Kendra) but also the vicious head hunters (O'Dell and Boelens) hired by the Church to catch these kids which can be quite overwhelming.

But the ending satisfy my taste for action and adventure and it certainly piqued my interest to read more of the series. Without giving away too much, let's just say that its reminiscent of the whole Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader love hate drama. Definitely worth checking out!
